My cousin's parents are real asses and they just stick her in front of a TV and ignore her all day. She's two. Whenever she stays at our house I let her play on my drums and the piano and such and she really loves it. It's great to see enthusiasm in children.

She loves music. She loves dancing to it, acting to it, playing music to it. And she insists we join her. If she is playing her drums, then I HAVE to play guitar with her. But like I said, I like to encourage that in her, so I always do. The only bad thing is that she stays with her dad all weekend and, like your cousin's parents, he sits her in front of the tv all day, usually watching him play video games. So when she comes home she is begging for TV, but we usually break her of that habit and get her actually usuing her mind again. Not that I am totally against television, but at that age they are really forming the person they will be, and you want to make sure you are guiding them in the right direction. Eventually they will make their own choices, so at least you can say that you did all that you can do.
